The Glascock Poetry Contest celebrates poetry in its 99th year

“I feel like the Glascock is a survey of American poetry from the last hundred years,” Anna Maria Hong said. Hong is an assistant professor of English and part of the faculty committee of the Kathryn Irene Glascock Poetry Contest.

Competitors included six student contestants from different universities across the eastern United States, judged by three accomplished poets: Mary-Kim Arnold, Nathan McClain and Oliver de la Paz.
